Gardnerville Shoot

SO! Who's doing what to make a Gardnerville, NV shoot happen before snowfall?

I'm gathering up shooters for our line. I talked to several people at the Big Reno Gun Show who were from this area and would love to attend a shoot on the Gardnerville range and tonight at our League of Lethal Ladies after work shoot, I talked to shooters who were on the waiting list for Gardnerville and are ready and willing to shoot if we give them a when and where. I also sent everyone on the line tonight home with some Greenies, Trifolds and California schedules. When the league meets again, I'd like to be able to invite them all to a LOCAL shoot.

What do we need to do to make that happen?

Hopefully we can get a shoot going at a time you and your other half are available to attend. I met you at the gun show, but I haven't met her yet.

Have fun in your piece of heaven.  :)

I always love to hear about an Additional Appleseed event being set up! As NV grows, I would recommend folks look at the NV schedule post on the NV board. I don't think having these 2 shoots the same weekend will hurt (correct me if I'm wrong), but we need to keep the possibility inmind when scheduling new shoots. Thanks for all your efforts......just think, the first time NV had simultaneous Appleseeds on the same weekend! It sounds like a really great announcement post is hiding in there somewhere!
If ye love wealth better than liberty,the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom,go home from us.We ask not your counsels or arms.Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you.May your chains set lightly upon you and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.

The date was chosen for the reasons; instructors were available and the range was available. If this shoot conflicts with a shoot hundreds of miles away, so be it.

We want to have a shoot here. If you don't like this date cancel it.  :) We don't give a hoot. We shoot here almost daily.  ;D

I would never cancel a shoot. I'll make sure it get posted on all the appropriate lists.

Aside from having some instructors not able to attend both shoots, I don't think that the dual shoots will hurt attendance in either location. It's a good eight hour drive from Vegas to Reno and vice-versa. Most shooters aren't going to want to drive that for for a shoot, so each location will be picking up shooters that wouldn't have been willing to attend the other location anyway.

You're right; sometime in the future as Nevada Appleseed grows, dual shoots too close together geographically could diminish attendance at both shoots, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there!

Plus, it's kinda fun to announce our first ever Northern and Southern Nevada shoot! And it just happens to be on Nevada Day weekend too. ^:)^
